How long it takes to go down the escalation path?

Well, I just got prema-banned and I forgot I have warned two times already. I believe that at last half a year I was being a positive player and having a level 4 honor. I thought my escalation path has gone down already but it is not the cause now obviously. Do I deserve to be perma-banned after I have reformed for a long time? it just only one game in half a year I cannot control myself not to flame after the warnings. They should make a remind on the warned ac that how far is the escalation path this ac is. If I realised my ac is still in the third stage, I could have more motivity to not flame. (because I don't want to get prema-banned) So it just likes the title, how long it takes to go down the escalation path? Honor 4 and it is still 3rd stage.

It's three to six months, depending on behavior, assuming you're playing regularly.

Even if the punishment tier had degraded, it's still possible to skip punishment tiers for extreme toxicity (hate speech, kys, or a whole log of nothing but negative).

The punishment tiers are:

10 Game Chat Restriction 25 Game Chat Restriction 14 Day Ban Permanent Ban

If you only had 2 previous warnings, that would indicate that you had an escalated punishment at least once. You should always avoid doing the things that earn escalated punishments.

It depends on how often you play your games. It's not based on time, but the amount of games you are playing positively and not getting reported. But the general rule of thumb is that it takes about 3 months of playing constantly and being positive in order to drop a tier of punishment.

The honors system actually is not in sync with your behavioral levels.

You could have just got off a 14-day ban before the honors program started and when the program started, you would be at honors2 instead of honors0.

Looks like it's because you took a break from playing for about 4 months in there. As the others have said, it's not based on a time-frame, but on how many games played with positive gameplay. So, even though it's been 6 months or so since your last punishment, with you not playing for 4 of them, it's really only been like 2 months of play. Which is not enough time to drop from the third tier generally. The higher up your punishment is, the longer it takes. So for a 14 day suspension, it can take more than 6 months of constant, positive, play to drop tiers.
